Chapter 387:
“Are you jealous?” he teased, his hands moving steadily over her skin, each touch carrying an almost hypnotic
quality that left Khloe utterly captivated.
“Of course not,” she shot back, her voice defiant even as a blush crept across her face. She avoided his gaze,
nervous that he might see just how much the answer mattered to her.
Henrik exhaled, adding a bit more pressure as his fingers lightly pinched her waist, sending another involuntary
shiver through her body.
“You won't like the answer. It’s not a pleasant story,” he said after a brief pause.
Khloe, sharp as ever, immediately picked up on the weight of sadness buried in Henrik’s voice.
This was the first the had openly let her see the darkness and pain he carried.
Khloe abruptly clasped Henrik’s hand mid-massage, turning to face him with a determined look. “I want to hear
it. Good or bad, it's part of your story.”
Henrik lifted his eyes to meet hers. The tenderness in his expression deepened into something darker and more

Yet, once she heard it, he wouldn't let her walk away from him—ever.
Khloe gave a small nod in response.
Henrik fixed his gaze on her, his voice steady, and each word carried a heavy weight. “I learned it by practicing
on corpses.”
Khloe’s pupils shrank, her breath caught in her chest, yet her stare never wavered.

Henrik maintained his smile as he continued, “As a child, life wasn’t easy forin the Watson family. My father
favoredbecause of my mother, but it only sparked jealousy among the other family members. One time,
while traveling abroad, | was kidnapped and dumped into a huge pit filled with rotting bodies and trash. Beggars
scoured the filth for food there. Everyone, both adults and children, acted like wild animals. In that place, | had to
learn how to fight.”
His voice dropped to a low, rough tone, each word carrying the weight of the violence and despair he had lived
through.
A cold shiver ran through Khloe’s spine. She couldn't fathom that Henrik had faced such horrors at such a young
age.
“At first, | only inflicted injuries on them, with no intention of killing them. But one day, a group of them cto
the dump, eager to feast on me. | fought back, killing those who sought my life. | used their bodies as a way to
sharpen my fighting abilities, and from that day on, blood stained my hands in a way that could never be
undone.”
Henrik let go of her hand and slowly stood up, taking a step back as though trying to create sspace
between them.
Without thinking, Khloe grabbed the edge of his robe, her eyes locked on his. “So how did you get back? Did the
Watson family find you?”
Henrik was quiet for a moment, then spoke slowly. “No. | stayed in that pit for a long time. After killing those who
tried to harm me, | learned to survive in that brutal place. Eventually, no one dared to challenge me. It was only
then that | managed to escape. That's when | realized | had been in a small, war-torn country, far from where |
was taken. The pit was a training ground for warlords and killers, thousands of miles away from where | had gone

Seeing their shock was amusing.”
Hearing his words, Khloe fought back tears. She couldn't fathom the hardships Henrik had suffered.
When Henrik saw the tears in her eyes, he gently lifted her chin, wiping them away with a smile that was both
gentle and haunting. “Don’t pity me. After | returned to the Watson family, | found the person who ordered my
abduction and killed him. | dismembered his body right in front of everyone.”
His eyes gleamed with a cold, unsettling light, like a wolf's eyes in a frozen field, driven by bloodlust. “Watching
their expressions turning from contempt to pure terror was fascinating.”
